I was taught you should not even lift the lid during the entire cooking time. You even use less liquid: 2 1/2 c liquid to 1 1/2 cup rice vs the 2 to 1 for steamed rice. Why does this work?

One reason is in Mexican cooking there is a dish called Fideo. In my cookbook I make the comment it is a take-off from Paella. I agree with you 100% on the origins of Paella.
